Welcome to the top five, LSU.

The Tigers moved up to No. 5 in the post-Week 4 AP poll after Oklahoma beat Army in overtime. LSU’s jump one spot means the SEC has three teams in the top five. Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Ohio State remained the top four teams in the poll.

Kentucky enters the poll at No. 17 after beating previously No. 14 Mississippi State. Texas is at No. 18 after beating TCU and Cal and Texas Tech are also newcomers to the poll. Oregon, at No. 19, moved up one spot after losing to No. 7 Stanford 38-31 at home in overtime.
